QU'OIT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 4, 1915.

Application filed January 18,1915. Serial No. 2,858.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WVILLIAM J. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Quoits, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to quoits, and comprises a quoit in horse shoe form, modified as hereinafter pointed out to serve the intended purpose.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of the quoit showing the top, and Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the bottom or underside.

In the drawings, 6 indicates the body of the quoit having a form or outline similar to that of a horse shoe, and provided on its underside or face with two front conical calks or points 7, and at the heels with wedge shaped calks 8. The outer corners of the latter are recessed or beveled as indicated at 8, to receive the index finger of the player when the quoit is pitched.

The side of the body of the quoit is slotted as indicated at 9, to receive a strip of chamois, leather or other soft material 10 which is wrapped around the bar and inserted through the slot to be held in place. The chamois, leather or similar soft material may be applied to either side of the quoit, according to whether the player is right or left handed, and its purpose is to prevent blistering or injury to the hand of the player.

The device is used in the usual manner and the calks serve the purpose of preventing sliding of the quoit after it strikes the ground.

What I claim as new is:

A quoit the body of which is provided with a slot and a covering of flexible material extending around the body and through the slot.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM J. MARTIN.

JOHN A. BOMMHARDT, J. B. DAVIS.
